LOCAL ZERO

TIM DANNUNZIO

Staff Pick

The wild man from Raeford, N.C., isnt strictly local, but he certainly got the attention of Charlotteans during his run for the 8th District congressional seat. In fact, DAnnunzio was so bizarre, he became a national story. First, he framed his campaign as a war against the wicked, hosted a fundraiser where donors got to shoot submachine guns, attacked fellow Republican and former sportscaster Harold Johnson as part of the left-wing media, and called for the abolition of 10 different federal departments. Then Timmy D topped himself on Keith Larsons popular conservative WBT talk show, where he got into a shouting match and told Larson theres a special place in hell for the shows host. Timmy, we hardly knew ye  and thats a good thing.
